When you’re headed to a cookout and you need to bring some alcohol, such as beer and wine coolers, you'll probably find yourself going to a liquor store. These stores specialize in the sale of liquor and other alcohol, plus drink mixes, cocktail ingredients, malt liquor and hard alcohol. Here are some frequently asked questions about liquor stores:

What Selection Do You Have?Liquor stores range from small to large, but even the smallest of liquor stores has a pretty good selection when it comes to alcoholic beverages. Buy spirits, vodka, rum, cocktail mixes and beer at your leisure, taking advantages of specials and sales. Some liquor stores feature microbrews, which you can mix and match according to your tastes. Some stores offer the charm of a mom and pop shop while others more closely resemble supermarkets, boasting diverse selections of imported and domestic beers, champagnes and liquor.

Can I Stock Up For Parties and Events?If you buy from wholesaler liquor stores or warehouse clubs, you can get all your alcohol products in one place at a bulk discount. You can enjoy volume pricing discounts when you have to stock up for special events, holiday season, bars, weddings and conventions.

Do You Offer Bar Catering?Some liquor stores offer bar tenders and custom bar catering for hosts that are looking to hire a professional to tend bar at their event, such as a wedding or charity night. Whether you’re putting on a house party or whether you’re holding the event at a hall, enlist the help of your own personal bar tenders to help make your night go smoothly.
